Excel explains: popular people

category: blog development

a careful inspection of the chart below reveals some spectacular truths.  For example:

  1. Jenn (Piehole) is on track to become like Raymond (oldnewthing).  They both have very shiny black hair and tanned complections.  I’d never realised this similarity until Excel pointed it out to me,  but its undeniably true. 
  2. I am going to have to turn into Jen (quarterlife crisis) before I can make headway on being as popular as Jenn.  Jen and I both have fair skin and wear jeans.  It’s striking how Excel can spot these similarities and show you the way.

Excel shows how to become popular

I’m planning to keep consulting with Excel to improve my general popularity level,  eventually becoming like Raymond.  My next move is to get a good tan and maybe some contact lenses to make my eye’s brown.

note: edited to adjust the number of n’s in Jen because I got it COMPLETELY wrong

match point

 Match point, well executed though lacking originality :) :)

 

Recommended for people who fit in at least one of the following categories:

  • are fascinated by watching talented actors with unusually large top lips (Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson) deliver weak dialogue with buckets of sultryness.
  • adore listening to plummy English accents.
  • thrive on wathcing classy delivery of bit part’s by outstanding actors like Brian Cox and Penelope Wilton
  • are committed Woody Allen fans, enjoying his style and pet obsessions irrespective of how familiar they are from his previous films.
  • have not seen Crimes and Misdemeanors. Angelica Huston and Martin Landau did a good job originally. Is this a remake? l don’t think so. It’s difficult to tell.
  • can’t help enjoying themselves when they see the gherkin or any part of it.

Excellent acting and camera work but way too familiar plot with some rather weak dialogue.  l wouldn’t watch it again.
